    I've searched but can't find a thread telling where the fan resistor is located on a 72 non-ac Skylark. Any tips?

    Thanks

    On top of the heater box inside the car. Might have to take the glove box liner out to get a better view

    It's behind the glove box, as suggested by Cook.

    Resistor tested ok. Pulled inner fender, no wire to fan. Found the cut wire under the hood but need a wiring diagram to ensure I don’t make things worse

    It should be a wire coming out of the middle ish area of the main harness.

    In this picture it's tucked under my heater hoses.

    Here's another shot of it running along the firewall:

    Thanks Brett, I have a black/orange wire that is powered when the fan switch is on.

    Looking closer at my 1st picture above, that makes sense.
